Just published is the latest issue (number 39 - cover date March 2023) of the Pink Floyd fanzine "Heyou" run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name. The 52-page dual language magazine (in Italian and English), which is published every six months or so, catches up with things in the Floyd world.
As ever, the magazine has three main areas of focus for its coverage. First up is a lengthy and well-illustrated, 25-page interview with Alan Parsons on the recording of The Dark Side Of The Moon. Interestingly, some of Parsons' recollections (particularly relating to live performances of the work-in-progress version of the album) are incorrect, and there's no indication of when the interview took place... potentially over time, certain details became muddled.
Also in the magazine is an extensive review of the first night of the Roger Waters 2022 This Is Not A Drill tour, in Pittsburgh. The review is heavily illustrated with photographs of the concert, which we presume were audience, rather than press shots. There's also a picture showing some of the fairly extensive range of merchandise on offer at that first show.
The final section of the magazine is mainly taken up with a six page review of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets at their 2022 show in Belfast, the second night of their Echoes Tour (which resumes for a number of shows in July this year). Alongside this is a review of the excellent and fairly forensic "Pink Floyd - BBC Radio 1967-1971" book from our friends at Floydstuff.com, which is available as a paperback or hardback edition.
